A woman has been booked for allegedly kidnapping and burning the private parts of a 13-year-old boy with a tong in Greater Noida’s Chhapraula village, the police said on Tuesday.

The incident took place on October 5 at 1.30 p.m. after the boy refused sexual overtures made by the woman, the victim’s mother said.

The Class VII student was studying in his house when the accused asked him to help carry groceries, the complainant stated.

“I allowed my son to help her as we are neighbours. Thirty minutes later, I heard my son scream and rushed to her house. She was inside a locked room with my son. She opened the door only after I started banging on it,” the mother added.

Forced herself on him

The victim narrated the ordeal to his mother, stating that the accused had forced herself on him. When he resisted, the accused locked him in a room and burnt his private parts with a tong, the mother said. He was rushed to a local hospital, where he was discharged after first aid.
